PRS Guitars today announced several new SE Series models and the David Grissom signature DGT 15 amplifier as a combo. Along with the debut of the SE version of Herman Li’s signature model Chleo, the fresh models include the SE DGT Standard and the SE CE 24 Standard Satin Stoptail. 2026 also brings a construction update to the SE Hollowbody Standard, SE Hollowbody Standard Piezo, and SE Hollowbody II Piezo. Rounding out the launch, the DGT 15 amp brings the acclaimed tone and versatility of the DGT 15 head into a convenient, combo format. SE CHLEOThe SE Chleo is the result of an intimate collaboration between PRS Guitars and award-winning guitar player Herman Li. Best known for his work as one of the lead guitar players in the power metal band DragonForce, Li is a demanding guitarist known for his fast and precise playing style. Based on the exclusive 2025 PRS Chleo Limited Edition, this SE signature model is a unique guitar in the PRS lineup designed with the modern metal guitarist in mind. The SE Chleo boasts the same Fishman Fluence Signature Series Omniforce Herman Li pickups as the Limited Edition that preceded it. With three distinct voices and a versatile switching system, the guitar offers up to 13 unique tone combinations.“With the PRS SE Chleo, we set out to create the best affordable guitar that delivers a unique combination of effortless playability, outstanding craftsmanship, and versatile tonal range. It combines modern innovations with classic style, giving players the tools they need to create everything from classic tones to cutting edge new sounds. The SE Chleo proves that a world-class instrument doesn’t have to break the bank—it’s a guitar that brings high-end performance within reach for everyone,” said Herman Li.In addition to the Charcoal Purple Burst and Orchid Dusk that the Limited Edition models were offered in, the SE Chleo introduces a third color, Mantis Burst.SE DGT STANDARDThe SE DGT Standard brings David Grissom’s signature model to a stripped-down, all-mahogany platform, delivering organic tone, rich resonance, and bold midrange presence, all at a price that comes in slightly below the SE DGT. The SE DGT Standard adds warmth and growl to the model’s signature clarity and articulation. Like the SE DGT, the SE DGT Standard offers a versatile control layout with individual volume controls for each pickup, a master tone control with push/pull coil tap, and a PRS tremolo.SE CE 24 STANDARD SATIN STOPTAILThe SE CE 24 Standard Satin is now offered in a stoptail option. The SE CE 24 Standard Satin Stoptail joins its tremolo counterpart as the lowest-priced guitar across all PRS models, at just $499 USD. This new version brings the snap and response of a bolt-on guitar into an all-mahogany body for a warm, focused tone, now paired with the rock-solid stability of a stoptail bridge. Loaded with 85/15 “S” pickups and a push/pull tone control for coil tapping, the SE CE 24 Standard Stoptail packs impressive versatility, whether players are chasing classic humbucking growl or snappy single-coil sparkle.UPDATED MODELSThrough close work with Cortek, PRS has updated the construction process of the PRS SE Hollowbody models. The center section is cut from solid mahogany, as opposed to bending the sides, so the body shape is now “fully PRS.” The SE Hollowbody II Piezo’s top and back are still made with 5-ply laminated maple for strength and rigidity. The PRS SE Hollowbody Standard models keep their all-mahogany build, while also benefitting from this construction update.This construction method also allows more color options, so Vintage Sunburst has been added into the lineup on the PRS SE Hollowbody II Piezo. With the SE Hollowbody II Piezo, players can plug into the “Mix/Piezo” jack and use the individual volume controls to blend the 58/15 LT “S” pickups with the piezo’s acoustic tones. Alternatively, players can plug into the jacks separately, so the guitar can run magnetic pickups into an amp and run the piezo through an acoustic amp or DI into the soundboard.DGT 15 COMBO AMPDesigned in close collaboration with guitarist David Grissom, this 15-watt, single-channel amp delivers vintage-inspired tone and gig-ready portability—all in one compact package. The built-in master volume and 3-position bright switch allow for detailed tone shaping at any volume level. Additional features include a 3-band tone stack (treble, middle, bass), boost, tube-driven reverb, top cut, presence, and tremolo. Like on the head version, it is not just the controls, but the combination of the controls and control parameters that bring out this amp’s functional versatility. For example, the bright switch can be set to on, off, or on except when the boost is engaged, so players can intricately manipulate the amp’s high-end. The Master Volume can be set to be on, off, or on only with the Boost. The included 3-button footswitch allows control of the boost, reverb and tremolo. 'I’m very excited the DGT 15 is now available as a combo amp! With a tweak to the circuit and a lot of work on the cabinet design, the combo has a tight, robust low end and a slightly more open tone than the head/cab version, all in a lightweight 1x12 combo format,” said David Grissom.PRS Guitars continues its schedule of launching new products each month in 2025.
